“…The genus Nostoc represents a highly polyphyletic lineage with many taxonomic revisions having taken place in the recent past, resulting into the description of new genera [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The polyphyletic nature of the genus Nostoc was reported by Rajaneimi et al [7], providing initial evidence that the strains of species of the genus Nostoc included in their study may represent two different genera.…”

“…While morphological, molecular and phylogenetic evidence were strong indicators of the taxonomic positioning and novelty, to further ascertain the taxonomic status of our strains, we performed the 16S-23S ITS folded secondary structure analysis as it has been reported to be an effective tool in differentiating the members of the genera Aliinostoc, Desmonostoc and Desikacharya [4,6,12,[23][24][25]. Secondary structures corresponding to the D1-D1′ helix region and BoxB region were obtained for all the members of the genus Aliinostoc.…”

“…As in case of members of the genera Desmonostoc and Aliinostoc the members of the genus Desikacharya also exhibit notable phenotypic differences. Well defined constrictions along with prominent coiling are the characteristic feature of the members of the genus Desikacharya [6]. At present members of this genus have also been reported from tropical regions only and are usually found in soil, freshwater and seepages.…”

“…In spite of close resemblance, with the typical Nostoc-like morphology, some noteworthy deviations were reported in the members of the genus Desmonostoc with the differences being primarily in the long and densely coiled filaments, different akinetes from those of members of the genus Nostoc sensu stricto and variable hormogonia morphology [2]. Thereafter, five novel genera; Halotia [3], Aliinostoc [4], Komarekiella [5], Desikacharya [6] and Minunostoc [9] have been described, the members of which were morphologically similar to members of the genus Nostoc.…”

“…The filaments of members of the genus Aliinostoc are loosely arranged and formation of motile hormogonia with gas vesicles is considered to be their characteristic feature [4]. Similarly, based on the distant phylogenetic positioning, a novel genus Desikacharya has been described, the members of which also showed morphological similarity with members of the genus Nostoc [6]. As in case of members of the genera Desmonostoc and Aliinostoc the members of the genus Desikacharya also exhibit notable phenotypic differences.…”

Five cyanobacterial strains with Nostoc -like morphology from different localities of the Mazandaran province of Iran were characterized using a polyphasic approach. Three strains clustered within the Aliinostoc clade whereas one each of the remaining two strains clustered within the genera Desmonostoc and Desikacharya . The phylogenetic positioning of all the strains by the bayesian inference, neighbour joining and maximum parsimony methods inferred using 16S rRNA gene indicated them to represent novel species of the genera Aliinostoc , Desmonostoc and Desikacharya . The 16S–23S ITS secondary structure analysis revealed that all five strains under study represented novel species unknown to science. In accordance with the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants we describe three novel species of the genus Aliinostoc and one species each of the genera Desmonostoc and Desikacharya .

Highlights of new, interesting, and emerging research findings on substratum-associated microbiota covered from a survey of 2019 literature from primarily freshwaters provide insight into research trends of interest to the Water Environment Federation and others interested in benthic, aquatic environments. Coverage of topics on bottom-associated or attached algae and cyanobacteria, though not comprehensive, includes new methods, taxa new-to-science, nutrient dynamics, auto-and heterotrophic interactions, grazers, bioassessment, herbicides and other pollutants, metal contaminants, and nuisance, and bloom-forming and harmful algae. Coverage of bacteria, also not comprehensive, focuses on the ecology of benthic biofilms and microbial communities, along with the ecology of microbes like Caulobacter crescentus, Rhodobacter, and other freshwater microbial species. Bacterial topics covered also include metagenomics and metatranscriptomics, toxins and pollutants, bacterial pathogens and bacteriophages, and bacterial physiology. Readers may use this literature review to learn about or renew their interest in the recent advances and discoveries regarding substratum-associated microbiota. © 2020 Water Environment Federation • Practitioner points • This review of literature from 2019 on substratum-associated microbiota presents highlights of findings on algae, cyanobacteria, and bacteria from primarily freshwaters. • Coverage of algae and cyanobacteria includes findings on new methods, taxa new to science, nutrient dynamics, auto-and heterotrophic interactions, grazers, bioassessment, herbicides and other pollutants, metal contaminants, and nuisance, bloomforming and harmful algae. • Coverage of bacteria includes findings on ecology of benthic biofilms and microbial communities, the ecology of microbes, metagenomics and metatranscriptomics, toxins and pollutants, bacterial pathogens and bacteriophages, and bacterial physiology. • Highlights of new, noteworthy and emerging topics build on those from 2018 and will be of relevance to the Water Environment Federation and others interested in benthic, aquatic environments
